The Americas
The Wild West
Season 1 Episode 3 of 10
Wildlife in America's western states, from coyotes in Yellowstone using geothermal heat to survive the winter to bison on the Great Plains facing fierce rivals to win mates as fires renew the grasslands. In Colorado, hundreds of rattlesnakes emerge after winter, while on Nebraska's Platte River, half a million sandhill cranes converge for their courtship dances. Narrated by Tom Hanks
The Americas airs on BBC One Scotland at 6:15 PM, Sunday 16 March. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
